It may have, but the proprietary software is unnecessary if you use
archlinux to install it and get it up and running. You need
wpa_supplicant; iw, dialog and netctl packages installed. Now I have an
rt2780 usb wifi adapter and have this working. Once those packages are
installed, you run netctl list and the first string that returns will be
at least one wifi possibility. The next thing to do is type netctl
enable network string from netctl list. Then reboot the computer and
watch your wifi network come up. What I just described I have no idea
how to do with any form of debian. Earlier I documented what happened
with the firmware debian disk on an acer 5003 notebook which is an amd
clone and my real amd k8 athelon machines.

I have something similar, quite like the possibility to use an external
antenna.
But it's Ralink, so it has proprietary firmware right?
